Abstract excerpt
The X-linked proteolipid protein (Plp) gene encodes PLP, the major protein of central nervous system myelin, and its alternative RNA splice product, termed DM20. Schwann cells also express the Plp gene but, in contrast to oligodendrocytes, neither protein is incorporated into peripheral myelin. I...
